Travel

Santa Barbara is a popular destination, and hotels tend to book up quickly. We recommend reserving your accommodations early! We've listed hotel options below, but please feel free to also look into other hotels and Airbnbs in the area that work with your budget. There are also several smaller "inns" within walking distance of the hotel that are more budget friendly. Please reach out to Jaison and Amy if you're having trouble finding accommodations! Santa Barbara is very walkable. Rideshares (Uber/Lyft) are easy, and many hotels provide bikes. If you plan to explore wine country or nearby towns, renting a car is a great idea.

Flight

Santa Barbara Airport (SBA)

From the East Cost: the easiest option is to fly directly into Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) — just 15 minutes from downtown. Many major airlines offer one-stop flights via hubs like Dallas, Denver, or Phoenix. If you're staying at the Hilton, there's a free shuttle to/from the Santa Barbara airport. Alternative Airports: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (about 2 hours south) and Burbank Airport (BUR) (about 1.5 hours south) also offer more flight options.
